Suddenly without warning. A barrage of artillery registered at about 0530 hours and continued until about 0700 hours. The artillery was relentless and frightening……I called regiment and told them, ‘the TD’s are pulling out, what should we do?’ The answer was loud and clear: ‘HOLD AT ALL COSTS!’ … he spotted in the dawn light a long column of what appeared to be about 500 German troops headed toward them from the east. Their distinctive helmet style told Bouck they were paratroopers, among the best soldiers Germany could field. None of his training or experience prepared him for this situation, outnumbered as he was by perhaps 20-1”

Germans:
90 minute artillery barrage
500 paratroopers
1st SS Panzer Division
